Frederick at Simeon, apparently.

The Flour Co. Bakeshop will be in a former corner convenience store at Frederick and Simion. Ambrosia Corner Bakery is just a couple of blocks away but I don't think they have to worry about the new bakeshop since Flour Co. will specialize in cakes for weddings, special occasions, etc.

This place that was mentioned a while ago is opening Sunday near Queen station. It is indeed a "speakeasy" themed Rum and Tapas bar. Appearantly to get in, you need a "password" (look on Facebook and/or Instagram). Not the cheapest prices, but I did get a sneak peak of the place a few weeks ago and it seems like an interesting idea.
Website is https://sugarrun.ca/. It's also only opened evenings.

According to The Record, the mid-week Kitchener Market was a hit and they'll do it again in 2020: https://www.therecord.com/news-story/9533328-midweek-evening-market-a-hit-kitchener-to-run-it-again-in-2020/
In other market news, I noticed signs along the Iron Horse Trail saying the Belmont Market is on again this summer, 11:30 AM - 5 PM on Thursdays. Their social media went dark in 2017 so I didn't realize it was still happening.
RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - Spokes - 08-06-2019
That's great that they'll do it again next year. Hopefully eventually full time
RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - KevinL - 08-06-2019
Hopefully more than just 4 weeks' worth next time.

Where exactly is the Belmont Market? I remember hearing about it, but never went.
I thought the Uptown Waterloo Thursday market was great, at least a few years ago; it's good that there's still an option that day.
RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - goggolor - 08-07-2019
The Belmont Market (last time I went, which was a couple years ago) was a few tables in front of the Red Door Salon on Claremont. I haven't been in a while because the 5 PM end time isn't conducive to people with with full time employment.
RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - MidTowner - 08-07-2019
That would be my issue, too, but it might happen some time this summer.
The town square was great in that respect, open until after 7pm.

From Facebook: Belmont Village Weekly Fresh Market
"The Belmont VIllage Fresh Market will be operating every Thursday from noon to 5:30 on the corner of Belmont Ave and Claremont Ave beside Camerons Flower Shop!"
RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - goggolor - 08-07-2019
The signs along the IHT, as well as the "upcoming dates" on their Facebook page, all say the market ends at 5. I think they used to run until 5:30 so that description may be old.

There was a Latin dancing night at Waterloo Public Square this evening. I think it's been happening every Wednesday for a little while.
It looked like around 50 people were dancing when I came through, with lots more watching from the amphitheatre.
RE: General Food, Dining and Nightlife News - jamincan - 08-07-2019
I didn't realize that's a regular thing, but I stumbled across it a month or so ago as well. It was an awesome vibe in the square with people milling around, music, people dancing, and beautiful weather. In general, I have to give credit to the designers of the square - it might not be perfect, but it seems well used as a congregation point.

I made it out to Sugar Run this evening and was quite impressed. Had a number of top notch cocktails (4 of 5 were excellent), and the ambiance was great. If you don't mind the prices, I highly recommend checking it out. I'd say it's alongside Grand Trunk and Loloan for best cocktails in KW.
As a part of the speakeasy theme it is hidden, with a door from an alley with nothing but their logo on it and a doorbell. You then have to give the password to get in. The hints are on their Instagram, https://www.instagram.com/p/BzvbTnfAeTD/ .

A hint for those who don’t use Instagram would be a kindness.
